D-Link wants to invade your home with security cameras and leak sensors
Night-vision baby monitors, pan-and-tilt security cameras and water leak sensors? D-Link's smart home product division loves CES, and an earlier connected home hub leak showed that it would be especially active this year. The company has formally revealed its first hub (the $80 DCH-G020) to support both WiFi and Z-Wave devices, along with some peripherals to go with it. As expected, it plugs into a regular router and lets you control a raft of either Z-Wave or WiFi accessories using the mydlink app for iOS or Android devices. Giving the hub some utility are the $40 Z-Wave DCH-Z110 open/close and $50 Z-Wave Motion sensors, along with the DCH-S160 WiFi water sensor and DCH-S220 WiFi siren ($60 and $50, respectively). All of those devices will be available sometime next quarter.
D-Link's new Cloud Camera lets you live out your Real World fantasies
D-Link's really spoiling us with the sheer number of announcements it's been pushing out at this year's CES. The Cloud Camera 5000 is a 720p internet-connected surveillance camera with a motorized pan and tilt base. You can access and control the device from the company's mydlink: a web-based interface that lets you set motion-sensor preferences to trigger recording and email alerts when it spots someone reaching for the cookie jar you've left on top of the refrigerator. There's also the mydlink+ app for iOS and Android that will let you watch your home being burgled from the other side of the world in glorious high definition. As far as we know already, it'll arrive in April and cost $150 (but don't quote us on that just yet). Set your mouse to dive if you go below to check out the PR.
